Nurse Terry’s Tips:
Wellness Exams Are So Important
Spring is here and it’s time for new beginnings! Let’s start off by making sure every child is up to
date with their Annual Wellness Exams. It is so important for your child’s health to have a Wellness
Exam every year. This is not just for immunizations, but to also catch any early on-set health
problems that may occur. Also, please note: if your child is four, they must be screened for vision
and hearing problems. It is required by State Licensing that we have a copy of your child’s
Wellness Exam and shot records on file and updated yearly, audits can be done at any time
as well. Your child’s file is considered incomplete until this information is received.

With those beautiful flowers come pesky creatures: bees, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and fire
ants. Here are some tips to keep your child safe from insect stings:
☼ Check for nests in play areas, for instance, old tree stumps, around rotting wood, in holes in the
ground, auto tires, and around trash cans.
☼ Don’t allow children who are allergic to insects play outside alone when stinging insects are ac-
tive. Even a dead insect can sting if a child steps on it or picks it up.
☼ Wear shoes. Avoid sandals or going barefoot.
☼ When eating outdoors, avoid foods such as tuna, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and water-
melon. Sweetened drinks, frozen sweet treats, and ice cream also attract insects.
☼ If an insect is near, DO NOT SWAT at it or RUN. These actions can trigger an attack. Walk away
slowly. If you DISTURB A NEST and the insects swarm around you, curl up as tightly as you
can, face down and cover your head with your arms which reduces exposed skin.

Last month our main focus was Fine Motor; this month we want to focus on Gross Motor
Skills! Gross Motor is so important for developing strength, balance and coordination in a
child’s large muscles. It helps with confidence and promotes daily physical exercise and a
healthy lifestyle as well. Below is a list of fun activities you can introduce to your child at
home:
*Throw, catch or kick a ball with your child.
*Have run races or play chase/tag together.
*Challenge your child to move like various animals (bear walk,
crab walk, slither like a snake, t-rex walk, hop like a frog)
*Provide your child with a bike or scooter to practice balance and
coordination.
*Make frequent visits to your local park. Encourage your child to
climb, challenge them to “skip” on the monkey bars, and teach them how to use their arms
and legs to go higher on the swings.
*Play movement songs or yoga videos your child can watch and learn from.
*Enroll your child into individual or team sports such as soccer, t-ball, flag football, dance,
gymnastics, swimming or martial arts.
*Create an obstacle course using hoola-hoops to jump in, cones to run around and tunnels
to climb through.
